Welcome to the COOKIE POLICY of the HOYA CHIQUITA website.

Here, we explain clearly and simply everything you need to know about the cookies used on our website, so that you can make informed decisions about your privacy.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?

A cookie is a small information file that is stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet whenever you visit our website.

In general, cookies are harmless: they do not contain viruses, trojans, worms or other malicious software that could damage your device. However, some cookies may have an impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as they can collect certain information about you, such as your browsing habits, preferences or identity.

For this reason, in accordance with applicable regulations (including the LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), certain types of cookies require your prior consent before they can be activated.

Before you make your choice, here is some additional information to help you understand how cookies work:

1. Cookies can be divided into different types depending on their purpose:

• Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function correctly. They do not require your consent and are the only cookies enabled by default.
• Other cookies may be used to improve our website, personalise it according to your preferences or, where applicable, display advertising tailored to your searches, tastes and interests. You can accept these cookies by clicking ACCEPT ALL, or configure or reject them through the COOKIE SETTINGS section.

2. Cookies may also be our own or belong to third parties.

Some cookies are managed directly by Hoya Chiquita (first-party cookies), while others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (third-party cookies), such as Google.

Some of these external providers may be located outside Spain. Not all countries offer the same level of personal data protection. The European Union, for example, provides a recognised framework for data protection.

Our policy is to work with reliable providers that have adopted appropriate safeguards for protecting personal information, whether or not they are located within the European Union.

In the section WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can find information about the relevant external providers and their privacy and data protection policies, helping you make an informed decision about whether to accept third-party cookies.

3. Depending on how long they remain active, cookies can be:

• Session cookies: these are automatically deleted when you end your browsing session. They are generally used to retain information required while a service is being provided during a single session.
• Persistent cookies: these remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a specific period of time, which may range from a few minutes to several years.
